o' hearts desire?

sure thing! (fic is here @ ao3)

This fic came about in kind of a weird way -- I might write it differently now but I don’t really do 20th century RPF at the best of times. I wrote it using mostly online sources, and now knowing the law library resources I have access to (also Hal Higdon’s book, which lays out a lot of information in a very lucid way) I might write it differently, but I feel less neurotic overall about freewheeling it on a Yuletide treat.

(One specific fan lobbied really hard to get this pairing/other crime rpf into Yuletide and there was massive wank about it, but then she didn’t even kudos my fic. I yell about this all the time when I get drunk.)

I talk about liking epigraphs on a fic, but I don’t actually use them a lot -- this is a case so bookended with stuff from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyám that it felt like it fit in.

At one point Richard reaches for his glass and the backs of two fingers brush Nathan's wrist. Nathan raises his head, affronted, but someone's just called Richard by name and he's turned away, not thinking of him; [...]

This is kind of the key moment for the kind of disconnect that characterizes this fic.

no diagram of his sensuous lips and prideful glands

These diagrams are real and they are depressing!

The ghost elements in this fic are fuckin weird -- I like ghosts as a symbol of stuff you can’t get away from, messy stuff that refuses to be curated away into how you tell your life story, and this seemed like a good fit for that.

North Carolina News: ELIZABETH CITY, Federal Drug and Violent Crime Enforcement Operation Nets 13 Defendants Wanted for Drugs, Guns, and Other Charges

ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. – United States Attorney Robert J. Higdon, Jr. announced that “Operation Nor’easter,” a heroin and opioid centered Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) Operation headed up by the Federal Bureau of Investigation resulted in the indictment of twelve (12) defendants for outstanding federal charges in a coordinated warrant enforcement operation. In addition, several defendants related to this operation were found to be in the custody of the State of North Carolina. Federal detainers have been filed against those subjects.

This operation was conducted as part of the Eastern District’s Take Back North Carolina Initiative designed to focus federal resources on the alarming level of opioid use and the deaths associated with it. This initiative is bringing the full weight of the federal court system in the fight against crime in Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Tyrell, and Gates Counties in partnership with District Attorneys’ Offices and federal, state, and local law enforcement.

The following individuals were charged by way of Criminal Indictment. The individual charges for each defendant are contained in the parenthesis following the personal information.

• Rasheen Jerome Arnold 24, of Edenton, NC (Felon in Possession of Firearm; Possession of Stolen Firearm)

• Alvin Johnson, 41, Pasquotank County, NC, (Possession with the intent to distribute cocaine and cocaine base) (crack)

• Samuel Rawlins, 39, Elizabeth City, NC, (Possession of Firearm by Felon)

• Nathan Lamonte Silver, 44, Elizabeth City, NC, (Hobbs Act robbery)

• Mykel Levant Davis, 37, Elizabeth City, NC, (Possession of firearm by felon)

• Marvin Johnson, 41, Elizabeth City, NC, (Possession with the intent to distribute heroin)

• Ross Domina Spruill, 33, Dare county, NC, (Possession with the intent to distribute cocaine and cocaine base) (crack)

The charges and allegations contained in the Indictments are merely accusations. The defendants are considered innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

The cases are being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation along the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives, (ATF), the United States Marshal Service, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations, Pasquotank County Sheriff’s Office, Chowan County Sheriff’s Office, Elizabeth City Police Department, Edenton Police Department, Perquimans County Sheriff’s Office, Camden County Sheriff’s Office, Currituck County Sheriff’s Office, Dare County Sheriff’s Office, Tyrell County Sheriff’s Office, Gates County Sheriff’s Office, Manteo Police Department, North Carolina First Judicial District Attorney’s Office, and the United States Probation Office.

What Leopold and Loeb books (non-fiction & fiction)/movies do you own? And which do you recommend?

ahh thank you so much for asking! the easiest way to do this would be to take a photo of my books, but since they're all over my bookshelf and i don't feel like reorganizing them i'm typing it all out. everything i say about any of these books is just my personal opinion. i always recommend trying things out for yourself and forming your own opinion.

for non fiction i own: for the thrill of it by simon baatz (and my hardback version has his signature in it against my will), crime of the century by hal higdon, the amazing crime and trial of leopold and loeb by maureen mckernan, leopold and Loeb: a psychiatric study by maurice urstein, evil summer by john theodore, crimes of the century by gilbert geis and leigh bienen (jamie if you're reading this, apparently i had this book all along and didn't know lol), the loeb-leopold case by alvin sellers, life plus 99 years by nathan leopold, the leopold and loeb files by nina Barrett, the story of my life by clarence darrow, retrying leopold and loeb: a neuropsychology perspective, the great trials of clarence darrow by donald mcrae, and i had a copy of leopold and loeb killed bobby franks but threw it away because it was that shit.

for fiction i own: these violent delights by micah nemerever, the moralist by joshua marcus, the hunting accident, nothing but the night by k.c. krantz, nothing but the night by james yaffe, never the sinner by john logan, little brother fate by mary-carter roberts, dickie and babe: the truth about leopold and loeb by daniel henning, rope by patrick hamilton, homo superiors by l.a. fields, semblance of balance (i had it but i got rid of my copy, i don't remember the author and they don't deserve the effort to look it up), compulsion by meyer levin, and thrill me by stephen dolgnoff.

for movies i own: compulsion (1959), rope (1948), swoon (1992), american experience: the perfect crime, “hearts of darkness” (an episode about l&l from a crime to remember), “the perfect crime” (an episode from behind mansion walls).

as far as non fiction goes i recommend higdon’s, mckernan’s, urstein’s, and seller’s book. if you want you a lot of information about the case/nathan and richard. retrying leopold and loeb is good as well. so is the leopold and loeb files. i don't recommend evil summer (poor writing and false information), leopold and loeb killed bobby franks (horrible writing and very false information. also the cover looks like something i’d make on picarts), or darrow’s book (only because leopold and loeb are barely mentioned). donald mcrae’s book is fine but again leopold and loeb aren't in it a lot, i didn't learn anything new. for the thrill of it isn't great, lots of inaccuracies and i despise how baatz talks about loeb’s death. nathan’s book is fine but you're not going to get anything about pre-murder/the murder itself. it’s mainly about prison life and is censored a lot.

as far as fiction goes i recommend: these violent delights (good characters, good plot, nice change), james yaffe’s book (good richard fill in character, i like the dynamic between the two characters), never the sinner (it’s good), dickie and babe...(it’s good as well), rope by patrick hamilton (short but good), and homo superiors (my love. my heart. i adore this book. if you don't read any of the above then just read this one. it’s worth it imo.). i don't at all recommend compulsion (artie and judd are the worst characters ever written), little brother fate (i hate the pedophilia in it), krantz’s book (horrible take on leopold and loeb), thrill me (an even worse take on leopold and loeb), the moralist (i deserve free therapy after reading this book from how bad it is), or semblance of balance (absolutely horrible. hated everything about it. shame on the author for even writing it).

for the movies i actually enjoyed the compulsion film more than the book. the later part drags so much though. rope is great, i love it. swoon is good too. american experience is probably the best documentary about the case. those two episodes from different shows are something you can skip lol. they're not great. a little entertaining though. the hearts of darkness episode is oddly romantic. krantz would love it.

I read Higdons Crime of the Century and really liked it! Is there anything you wish a book about Leopold and Loeb would discuss that wasn’t in Higdons book?

awesome! i'm glad you liked it. & i’m not really sure. higdon’s book, along with other leopold and loeb books i’ve read, really covered it all for me. in a non important route i guess i’d like to know how the two became friends. we know that at first they didn't like each other much, but i’d like to know what the shift was. however, that’s something we’d never know anyway.

not really on topic with what you asked, but i’d also like to know what richard got up to in prison. i feel like we know nothing about the dude. he never wrote anything about himself before his death. really all we have is his confession and what nathan has said about him. it’s basically a mystery what was going on with him or what his take on everything was, you know?

#leopold and Loeb #asks #anon asks #whatever you do #dont read leopold and Loeb killed Bobby Franks #literally the worst biography ever
